I love making guitars from Cigar Boxes, and thought it would be fun to create a blog for those interested in tracking my progress, and see what's going on in the shop. If you are a potential customer, feel free to email me with any questions.
Enjoy Life Through Music !!

Still working on my Hub Cap Guitar. I got the controls and pickups positioned and set. I also got the nut shaped and installed, as well as the bridge. Using my Godin Hybrid guitar on the right as a guide to set the string distance at the nut, and the heights of the nut and bridge. Next weekend, I'll probably get the electronics wired up ... my least favorite part. But then I should be about ready to do the final assembly and give it a test drive!

Making some good progress on my 6 String Hub Cap Guitar. I've got the neck shaped and sanded. Just finished oiling the fretboard and installing the frets. I got the Piezo Pickup installed in the bridge, and the cutout's all in place for the lipstick magnetic pickup in the neck position. Hopefully will be able to string it up in 3-4 weeks!
